Deep dives

The Unity of Boundaries

Our perception of boundaries is limited by our skin, but at the cellular level, our boundaries are blurred. Our bodies are home to a diverse and vital microbiome, without which we would not survive. At the molecular level, our boundaries extend beyond our bodies, with the carbon dioxide we breathe out becoming part of the planet's biomass. At the atomic level, every atom in our bodies comes from the Earth. Our boundaries are not confined to our individual selves but intertwined with the spaces we occupy and the connections we make with other people and the environment.
